fucking idiots . . . don't your cops have guns?
Copenhagen, Denmark (AHN) - Demolition crews began tearing down a brick building in Copenhagen Monday that has been the source of days of rioting in the city after squatters were evicted last week. In the past few days police have used teargas and arrested about 650 protesters, who were setting cars, trashcans and barricades on fire and throwing stones and bottles at police.
The building, referred to as the Youth House, or Ungdomshuset, has been occupied by squatters since the 1980s and has served as a popular cultural center for left-wing groups, activists and punk rockers.
Those who lived in and met at the 3-story building considered it public property, but the city sold it to a Christian congregation in 2001 that decided to have the house torn down because it was "a total wreck" and posed a fire hazard.
